Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XLMad Max : Fury Road

Latest super-action blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road has been smashing its way into cinemas of late, with a suitably big, brash, and, to be fair, inventive soundtrack from Junkie XL, who feels serious enough here to use his birth name: Tom Holkenberg. Double LP on green and yellow marbled wax, from Music On Vinyl.

REVIEWS

If you're looking at this, you're probably familiar with the film this was composed for. If not, the movie is a post-apocalyptic car chase featuring Cirque Du Soleil chasing Stomp to Burning Man and this is the music to fit that. It's clear that both George Miller & Tom Holkenborg had a vision of a score which was integral to the movie and it's perhaps a little unfair to consider this on it's own devoid of the accompanying visuals but there are some tracks that can easily stand on their own such as the Doof Warior/Drummers but the central Brothers In Arms is a future track to be played over trailers of other movies in future in the same way Fluke's Reeferendum was at the turn of the century.
